Sustainability

El Lugar is a natural sanctuary, wholly in harmony with the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica’s Rainforest.

Unlike other eco-luxury resorts, El Lugar stands apart. Where advanced sustainability meets warm luxury, the unadulterated richness of this pure place has been preserved and an incomparable experience awaits.

El Lugar Costa Rica

Our mission is to preserve this rare corner of the Costa Rican Rainforest for generations to come.

With thoughtful attention to detail, El Lugar utilized Helical Pylons in building the resort to allow groundwater to flow freely, to avoid sealing the natural terrain with concrete and to allow the cooling breeze of the rainforest to work  in concert with modern air-conditioning. 

No tree was cut down in the development of El Lugar. 

Advanced thermodynamic water heating, natural septic and gravity based water distribution systems have been employed to nurture the environment without risking the luxurious experience that awaits you. El Lugar has taken the road less traveled.
